“…friends seem to be only mirrors to draw out and explain to us ourselves; and that which draws us nearer our fellow man, is, that the deep Heart in one, answers the deep Heart in another …that we find we have (a common Nature) …one life which runs through all individuals, and which is indeed Divine.”
–Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The cure for all the ills and wrongs, the cares, the sorrows, and the crimes of humanity, all lie in the one word “love.” It is the divine vitality that everywhere produces and restores life.”
–Lydia M. Child

“However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act upon them?”
–Buddha
